An 11-year-old girl, who has been promised in marriage by her parent to a 57 year old Qatari man receives 200 lashes for accidentally breaking her hymen while riding a bicycle, thus diminishing her “value as a bride” claims the future spouse.

He told reporters his wife-to-be had “disgraced herself before “Allah” and had “shamed her family, his family and all her future descendants” after losing her virginity while riding a bicycle.

The judge also asked that the parents reimburse the future spouse who had previously offered a number of camels in exchange for the girl, claiming the plaintiff had inherited “damaged goods”.

“What is the worth of a camel, if it has only three legs?” argued the judge metaphorically.

By illegally riding a bicycle and losing her virginity, she has brought shame to her family and her husband-to-be,” he added.

“I hope all woman in this country will take this incident as a warning of the dangers and unintended consequences of riding a bicycle” he concluded.

Its not fabricated, she lost her virginity to a boy in her age group and then inflamed it by insinuating she were simply riding a bicycle, that’s insulting… The man should had accepted this fact and let the family keep the camels.. they obviously need them more. The judge further compounded this issue by physically punishing her instead of allowing her to seek allah’s forgiveness on her own accord but Because the judge knew she would not truly seek forgiveness, he had her punished. That was a mistake. She has been further alienated from her husband and now may never come to accept it.
